Trinity Canadian Heather colour is lighter and warmer in colour than current Welsh material but compares well in a colour match with samples from previous Welsh quarries and with the slate on most heritage roofs. Canadian Trinity is also available in two shades of green, Glacier and Moss ideal for patterning or blending a roof into the landscape
Canadian Heather is supplied in Australia as bests, a term that pre dates advertising “bests” was used to describe quality slates such as these because they were. These 4-6mm thick slates will provide a 150 year roof for little more than the cost of a thirty or fourty year slightly cheaper alternate
Canadian Trinity slate has no deleterious minerals such as calcium carbonate or soluble iron pyrites that are commonly found in younger slates from Europe Spain, the US and Asia and which lead short term to rusting and roof failure
Slate for Australia is produced and supplied in imperial sizes. This facilitates any patching or refurbishment. Special sizes are available to order
Examples exist of Trinity roofs slated more than 100 years ago. The 19th century production was exported to and sold in the UK along with the slates from the many Welsh quarries producing at the time |
